2020/21 Jordan Pickford

Oblak.

100 gazillion quid should do it and give them Richarlison ( or Risharlishon as the commentary kept saying tonight )

 

[hallamblue]

100% no.

Any particular reason? He's a good shot stopper, catches crosses unlike our current protagonist, and he's a good age.

 

[PhilRegan]

Didn't he have an issue with his eyes that saw him go downhill?

One things for sure we definitely seen him go down hill. But ye I do vaguely remember something.

I think you just need to go back one game against the mancs and watch him parry a very easy cross into Cavani's path to see that it would be like swapping a Pickford for a Pickford

All keepers make mistakes, Alison made 3 in the last 2 games. The question is whether they are generally sound.

Honestly mate I think he's got mistakes in him imo

Just knew it was coming.

had a fairly solid, but worry free game up until about 2 mins before when he flapped at a cross then hesitated on his line.

Im sorry, but that’s unforgivable that. Scratch any hope of Champions League and probably Europa if we’re keeping him between the sticks. How many games has he cost us in the last 18 months?

Prior to the game I’d have been happy with a point, but feels like a huge two points dropped there.
Newcastle will be absolutely massive and I hope Olsen is MOM.

Fair enough, I haven't seen loads of him, but generally I've liked what I've seen. Also he was great for me on Football Manager which may have influenced me lol

 

[barneygumble]

He's up there with your gerrard, mhyre, Simonsen . Howard was like southall compared to pickford

Howard was excellent for us for 3-4 seasons. Started going downhill about 2011. But people only remember the bad times.

Gerrard and Simonsen would be the most accurate. Simonsen both so as they both broke British Transfer records for GK and they’re both garbage.

Howard could do the basics to a good standard at least. Ye that's Pickfords level. Take the price tag away and he's binned off ages ago.

Nah Simonsen only cost £500k, Johnson just pretended we'd paid the £3 million so we'd think he'd spent some money!

I hadnt actually seen the goal live, so I just watched it on replay...

Wow. Its shocking how many balls almost right at him he has now let in in the last year or so.

I've only seen about 5/6 games myself mate. He makes some good saves but then just looks like his decision making is suspect. Theres loads of keepers like him ( Pickford included ) who simply aren't good enough.

Allison is miles ahead of everyone as his mistakes are fee and far between.
Edison is similar though I think he's had a poor 9 months
Arsenal and Villa have solid keepers.
Spurs similar
Schmeichel is solid
Past that you'd probably say Pope is half decent but nit much else. A lot of average keepers

We definitely claimed it to be a British record though, didn’t we?
